There is a small garden in the backyard of Ci'en Hall, which is quite delicately maintained. Because of Master Mingzhen, there are no exotic flowers and herbs in the garden. Instead, it is full of medicinal herbs. In March, the spring is just right, everything is growing, and the fragrance of herbs is lingering. Refreshing the heart and spleen.
"Sister Xiao, my sister's name was Mingshu before she got married. You can call me Sister Mingshu." Seeing Xiao Ming's reserved attitude, Mrs. Lu couldn't help but feel more favorable to her, and bluntly asked her to call her sister.
The more experience he has, the better he can see into people's hearts. Xiao Ming's words are calm and gentle, he does not deliberately cater to others, nor is he overly enthusiastic. He respects rules and disciplines, speaks in a moderate manner, and will not use his own strengths to seek more benefits. She had to say that she was more happy with Xiao Ming like this. Compared to the younger sisters in the family who respected her for benefits and status, Xiao Ming was a good girl with a simple mind, as bright and noble as a lotus.
For some reason, Lu Mingshu felt that she was too late to meet her, so she told her her maiden name.
"Sister Mingshu." Xiao Ming smiled lightly.
"Hey!" Lu Mingshu smiled knowingly, with a hint of loneliness in her voice. It had been many years since anyone had called her that, "I have been meditating on Buddhism, and rarely go out. The weather is nice today, so I will go with my sister for more walks." It’s good to go.”
"Okay." Xiao Ming condensed. Lu Mingshu was only twenty-four or five years old, but she actually started to believe in Buddha. Is this a kindness or a helpless act? If a person experiences pain and despair and is unable to change the facts, he can only place his hope in the illusory gods.
Praying to God and worshiping Buddha is just a kind of spiritual support to hope that life will go as you wish.
Xiao Ming knows that the most indispensable thing for people throughout the ages is a sad heart. Ordinary people have worries about daily necessities of food, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, while powerful people also have worries that they cannot understand.
"What does my sister usually like?" Lu Mingshu asked.
"I only like some crude things like medical books and herbal medicines, not as much as my sister." Xiao Ming blushed unconsciously. Compared with the elegant hobbies of the famous ladies in the capital, her hobbies are indeed not up to the level of elegance. .
But she doesn't care, I'm proud of my medical skills.
"Sister, you're welcome. My sister's medical achievements are unrivaled by girls of the same age in Beijing." Lu Mingshu admired unconsciously. It took Min Fangqi more than 30 years of medical practice to become the first in the Taiyuan Hospital. Position, Master Mingzhen devoted himself to studying medical skills to achieve today's achievements, but as for Xiao Ming, she was recognized by both Min Fangqi and Master Mingzhen when she was only fourteen years old.
What an honor this is, and how much hard work it has taken that is unimaginable.
There are other people who have been mediocre and accomplished nothing in their lives, but Xiao Ming is the one who lives up to what a woman should look like.
Compared with her, those noble ladies in the capital who claim to be well-known think that they can win a good reputation in the capital by being proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but they don't know that fame and wealth are the most false things. They are nothing compared to Xiao Ming's real talent and learning. One use.
Xiao Ming's achievements are beyond their reach.
She used to be such a person. She always believed that she could win what she wanted as long as she worked hard enough, but in the end it was just a joke. So what if you have fame, wealth and status, there is endless loneliness and coldness at the top of the pyramid.
She is far less free and comfortable than Xiao Ming, and the fame and reputation she once worked so hard to gain has become a heavy shackles on her body.
She can't even protect her only child, so what's the use of her.
Seeing the child running over laughing and joking, Lu Mingshu put away her disappointment, unconsciously revealed a motherly smile on her face, and opened her arms to welcome the child who threw herself into her arms.
She treats every child with sincerity and hopes that her children will be treated well by others far away.
"Xiao Dou'er, my dear, you run slower, my mother will feel bad if you fall."
"Look at the sweat all over your body. Mom, please wipe it off for you."
"Are you secretly eating candies again? Didn't my mother tell you that you can only eat two candies a day, otherwise you will get bugs in your teeth?" Lu Mingshu said softly while taking care of the somewhat embarrassed little Dou'er. Speak softly.
The voice was dripping with tenderness.
"Mother, eat some sweets, Xixi~"
And Xiao Dou'er always kept a silly smile in her mother's arms, regardless of the dirt on her body that would stain her mother's clothes. She only uttered a few unclear syllables after hearing something she liked. .
Xiao Ming: "..." This child.
Xiao Ming felt that her heart had been hit by 10,000 points, and it instantly became riddled with holes, making it difficult to breathe.
That child turned out to be Xiao Dou'er.
The child she once thought was Shi Tingyu's illegitimate child.
How she wished she was deceived.
The loving eyes of the mother and the joyful smile of the child, Xiao Ming was so shocked by the scene of deep love between mother and child that she forgot to speak for a moment. Thinking of the diagnosis she gave the child, she felt a lump in her throat. He felt like he was stuck in a thorn and couldn't say anything.
'Xiao Dou'er should have been hit on the head, which caused his intellectual development to be incomplete and made him a little stupid. '
At the beginning, she diagnosed Xiao Dou'er as being stupid due to impact. The scene of that night was vivid in her mind, but she never thought that Xiao Dou'er was actually Ming Shu's sister's child.
Xiao Ming couldn't help but feel sore and blurred with tears, and quickly looked up at the sky.
There is more than sadness in my heart.
God why are you so cruel.
The unfairness of heaven treats all things as stupid dogs! Why can't you give beautiful people a perfect ending.
"This is Aunt Xiao. You salute Xiao Ming. Mom will teach you what to do when you meet the elders?" Lu Mingshu and Xiao Dou'er looked at Xiao Ming, squatting down and teaching Xiao Dou'er personally.
"Madam, come here, old slave!" A woman hurried over, still panting heavily, with big beads of sweat on her forehead. She was obviously chasing Xiaodou'er. Seeing Mrs. Lu like this, what could she do? He dared to stop and gasp for air, and stepped forward to help in fear.
"No, I am his mother, I will teach her."
"Sister Mingshu, how could this happen?" Xiao Ming was so shocked that she couldn't speak. She had to stand sideways, watching the scene in front of her and her heart ached.
"It's okay. He is a junior, so he should be like this." At Lu Mingshu's insistence, Bu Dou'er bowed crookedly to Xiao Ming's.
"Yiyi, candy." Xiao Dou'er stretched out his dirty little hands to ask for candy. He changed a lot when he was next to Lu. He grew taller and stronger, and he was dressed in gorgeous clothes that made people look at him. People think he is a well-behaved young master from someone’s family.
It's a pity that he can't be handsome for more than three seconds.
He looked so stupid when he opened his mouth.
What a shame, what a wonderful kid.
"The young master went to the garden to fly a kite, and then played in the mud for a while." When the woman spoke, she glanced at Xiao Ming beside Lu Mingshu hesitantly, and her voice lowered unconsciously.
Playing in mud is a pastime for poor country boys.
